Party Animal

Today we had a huge birthday bash for our baby. Braden really likes kitties, so I chose an animal themed party (he calls all animals kitty, so it was different animals). It was a lot of fun, but I'm glad its over.

Thanksgiving, preparing the next day, and then having the party was a lot.

I need a day of rest!

I really enjoyed decorating for the party. Making the mini animal cakes took a lot of work, but they turned out so well. I was pretty proud of myself. I'm so grateful to my parents, in-laws, and grandparents who helped a ton. Wouldn't have been able to do it all without them!

In his cute birthday outfit my mom bought him! He's so adorable... he just goes straight to my heart!

A cute bib from his grandma. Ready for lunch...

And a cake of course! I gave him the crocodile one because I like the way they turned out the best!

He was so cute...reaching the candle and trying to blow it out himself.

(P.S. my mom's friend made that banner and I love it. So cute)

Devouring it!

Present time!

=)

The play cell phone we got him because he LOVES real phones.

He wouldn't let go of this and wasn't paying attention to any other gifts.

Looking at a book with daddy!

Him with all his loot. Seriously, spoiled much?

And that is what happens after a party!

I enjoyed it and he certainly did. He's going crazy with one of his toys right now!

Now, back to cleaning...since that hasn't happened in a few days!

I was doing it all by myself!

Glad he liked it though!
